Just as in our All Stars Afterschool Service for school going children (aged 4 – 12.5 years) where we also promote an inclusive culture, we provide a broad based, flexible programme of recreational activities in a welcoming, relaxed and trustworthy environment. It is our aim to support the wellbeing of each child in our care, taking their unique interests and needs into consideration. Furthermore The National Childcare Scheme provides subsidies to help parents meet the cost of quality School Age Childcare ncs.gov.ie/en/faqs
